Meteorologists said there's a combination of forces at work this year: A natural El Nino system just getting started on top of worsening man-made global warming, and a dash of random weather variations. The resulting ocean heat is already harming threatened coral reefs. It could also hasten the melting of Arctic sea ice and help hurricanes strengthen.

The heat is most noticeable near the Arctic, where water temperatures are as much as 10 degrees above average.

Breaking heat records in water is more ominous as a sign of global warming than breaking temperature marks on land, because water takes longer to heat up and does not cool off as easily as land.

Some formerly unlikely regions in Europe, like Britain, are already producing prize-winning vintages thanks to warming conditions. Supporters of English sparkling wines say that they regularly hold their own against the top Champagnes in blind taste tests.

Smithy - While our few rules for commenting here allow you to personally attack me all you like (though not other commenters), they do not allow you to spam every thread, and/or hijack it, with the same off-topic nonsense over and over again.

You have already posted the same foolish attacks (apparently you don't spend much time paying attention to this blog, or what I write about), elsewhere. So, unfortunately, you are now set to moderate since you have proven yourself to be unable to comment responsibly and respectfully to other readers. That's a shame.

Beyond that, I'm sorry to see you put politics first and country second and fail to see how what we cover here is meant to help protect and defend the lives of every American, both in the military and out, regardless of foolish party affiliation.
